Shobo's mother's present age is six times Shobo's present age. Shobo's age five years from now will be one third of his mother's present age What are their present ages?​

Answer 1

Answer:

let shobo's age be 'x'

mother's age is 6×X = 6x

x+5= 1/3×6x

x+5 = 6x/5

5 = 6x/5-5

5 = 5x-5

5x-5 = 5

5x = 5+5

5x = 10

x = 10/5

x = 5

shobo's age is 5 at present

shobo's mother is = 6×5 = 35

Answer 2

Answer:

shobo present age = x

shobo mother present age = 6x

shobo age (after 5 years ) = x+5

shobo mother age (after 5 years )= 6x+5

x+5 = 1/3(6x)

x+5 = 2x

5 = 2x - x

5 = x

x = 5
